From a google search:

"In the case of the M-16 rifle, Armalite manufactured 14 firearms prior to their AR-15; thus, when the military adapted it, they added military modifications to it, making it different from the AR-15, therefore it was a 16th AR type firearm. Model (M stands for Military Model) 16"
